Imagine a giant spider's web with bells hanging from every thread. Nature tots rose to the challenge and buzzed around trying to avoid setting off alarm bells today. Also much crafting of insy winsy spiders #crawley Sussex Wildlife Trust 🦔

Toasting marshmallows, hugging trees, having a hot chocolate in the woods; these #mindfulmoments are a wonderful way to step back from the stresses of life and, hopefully, the first step to helping people really reconnect with nature and take action for #wildlife. #digitaldetox

Such a lovely way to end our Nature Tots year. Making tree decorations, crafting our own Rudolph's, toasting marshmallows and a rousing chorus of Jingle bells. Sussex Wildlife Trust 🦔 #Tilgate #Crawley

After making mallets, how satisfying to use them along with other newly acquired skills learned whilst hedgelaying. Youth Rangers fashioned a fence to protect our veg patch from hungry bunnies. We also Springcleaned the polytunnel. Cant wait to get planting in the wildlife garden

Great job done by #Wildlife Rangers at #Tilgate Park during half term. A hole filled with logs & layers of material to create a mound. Soil & turf on top. Creating cosy nooks & crannies. 5 star accommodation for #reptiles & #amphibians #hibernacula Sussex Wildlife Trust 🦔 #Crawley

Nature Tot frogs, sat on a log. One jumped into the pool, where it was nice and cool. Sussex Wildlife Trust 🦔 #Tilgate #Crawley

Meanwhile this month, the marvel of metamorphosis at #Wildlife watch spawned tadpole, toad and fabulous frog formations. Sussex Wildlife Trust 🦔

Never too young to take action for wildlife. Nature Tots got busy in the Wildlife Garden this week. Sawing, drilling, digging, sowing wildflower seed, skimming algae from pond and crafting daffodils all in a morning's work! Gatwick Greenspace Sussex Wildlife Trust 🦔 #Tilgate Park #Crawley

It's a good day when your only hitch is a timber hitch! Building skills and shelters. The power of repeat engagement in action with @MarkJamesNewton #ledermantrainee, on week 3 of Forest School with our ESOL group from @CrawleyCollege Sussex Wildlife Trust 🦔 #Tilgate

A great day out on Friday at #Tilgate Park with Wildlife Rangers. After our #BigButterflyCount , we foraged for #blackberries. Good to eat but also good for tye die. We have lots of great activities planned for 12 to 16yr olds this summer. Book Sussex Wildlife Trust 🦔 #MondayMotivation
